Am I the only one that's annoyed by the non-alphabetical model numbers? Why not do B100 after the A100, then jump to H (supposing there won't be a C100 or D200 at some point)? Like, wtf Nvidia.
As for the number, the die name counts down to 100 (with GA107, for instance, being a small GPU die and GA100 being the big one), and the big datacenter GPU as a product inherits the 100.
Also, it occurred to me that Nvidia does sometimes increment the die to 200 (EG GM200, as the Maxwell 100 series was a single small oddball die). Its possible that they "refreshed" the GH100 die and are codenaming it GH200.
